“I understand. Even if we don’t talk about you, the few of us are sometimes afraid of Sir’s sharp eyes. “Alright, Little Miss, go and answer the phone. If there’s anything, you can come and look for us at any time.” Zhuge Yu and the others treated Chen Meng’e like their own daughter and doted on her.
“Of course.”
Chen Meng’er answered the phone.
“Hello. Are you happy now?”
“Meng’er, you finally picked up the phone. I thought I was just forgotten and abandoned.” Xu Lele, who had been holding the phone and waiting by the phone for such a long time, finally heard Chen Meng’er’s voice.
“I was outside with my grandfathers and they were talking. By the way, why did you call me?” Chen Menger explained.
“It’s not a big deal. I just called to ask how your conversation with Chen Ming went today.” While Xu Lele was concerned about her friend, she didn’t forget about her own gossip.
Although Chen Meng’er couldn’t see Xu Lele’s expression, when she heard Xu Lele’s voice on the other end of the phone, she knew what kind of expression Xu Lele would have. She was definitely in the mood for gossip. But before she could reply, she heard Elder Xu reprimanding Xu Lele from the other end of the phone. “Lele, what kind of expression is that? How many times have I told you to be a lady? You have to act like a lady. Tell me, if you go out like this, won’t you embarrass the Xu family?”
Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Lele, your grandfather is right. You’re not a lady at all. A lady wouldn’t gossip like that.”
“I’m not gossiping. I’m concerned about my friend’s love life,” Xu Lele quipped. “I told you. If you had told me and Qiu Jing where you and Chen Ming were meeting, we would have watched it live. That way, the two of us won’t be in the mood to do anything else for the whole day.”
Chen Meng’er really didn’t know whether she should be happy or annoyed that her two friends were so concerned about her love life.
“Aren’t the two of us worried about you?” Xu Lele was afraid that Chen Meng’er would be unhappy, so she quickly tried to remedy the situation.
“I know. The two of you are kind-hearted. I’ve already explained it to Chen Ming. You know my temper. It’s fine if you didn’t know before, but now that you know, I don’t like to drag things out. I’ve directly explained it to him.” Chen Meng’er thought of Chen Ming’s retreating figure when he left and her heart was still sore and uncomfortable. Because of her identity and her temper, she didn’t have many friends in her two lifetimes.
And Chen Ming was a person that Chen Meng’er truly treated as a friend. Now that she thought of losing him in the future, how could Chen Meng’er feel better?
“Ah, just say it directly. You didn’t give Chen Ming any time to recover.” Xu Lele should have thought of it long ago. With Chen Meng’er’s temper, she wasn’t the type to procrastinate. “But, that’s true. With your temper, this is really something that you can do. But, this is also good. It’s better to be quick and clear. This is good for you and good for him.” Xu Lele thought about it and she actually quite agreed with Chen Meng’er’s way of doing things.
Matters of love really couldn’t be delayed. Xu Lele thought about her secret crush and her mood was slightly depressed.
“But after seeing Chen Ming like that, I don’t feel good either.” Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but sigh. She felt that this relationship was the most troublesome thing.
“There’s nothing you can do about it. By the way, how are things with Yuwen Jing?” Xu Lele suddenly thought of Yuwen Jing and couldn’t help but ask.
“Ah…” Speaking of Yuwen Jing, Chen Meng’er appeared to be embarrassed. She really didn’t know how to answer Xu Lele’s question. “Things are pretty good.”
“What do you mean things are pretty good?” Xu Lele wasn’t Qiu Jing. She grew up in this circle and was also a shrewd person. She immediately heard something strange from Chen Meng’er’s words. “Looks like something happened again when Qiu Jing and I didn’t see. Meng’er, tell me.” Xu Lele started to act coquettishly towards Chen Meng’er.
“Ah, it’s nothing much. It’s just that I happened to meet Yuwen Jing later today. The two of us went to watch a movie.” Chen Meng’er knew that if she didn’t tell her, Xu Lele would probably pester her until she told her. And she would also stop at that point.
However, that was a very normal thing for others, but when Xu Lele heard about it, it was an incredible thing. The Yuwen Jing that she learned from her grandfather, Elder Xu, was an ice cube. He was cold and couldn’t be warmed up.
However, it did not seem like he would do something as mundane as watching a movie with his girlfriend. However, if Xu Lele knew about what happened between Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing in the movie theater, she would probably be so excited that she would scream.
Chen Meng’er was afraid that Xu Lele would continue this topic, so she quickly found an excuse and said to Xu Lele, “Lele, I still have something to do, so I’ll hang up.”
“Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your thing. Oh right, when we’re free later, the three of us should also go for afternoon tea. I see that many good friends in the circle usually meet for afternoon tea. When are we going to meet for afternoon tea?” Xu Lele had long considered Chen Meng’er and Qiu Jing as her good friends.
Chen Meng’er got along well with the two of them. Moreover, ever since she knew Xu Lele and Qiu Jing’s feelings for her two brothers, Chen Meng’er had other thoughts in her heart. If her two older brothers were also interested in Xu Lele and Qiu Jing, she didn’t mind being the matchmaker and matchmaking them.
As for whether Elder Xu would have an opinion about her older brother’s identity. This wasn’t something that she was worried about at all. With her, Chen Meng’er, Elder Xu wouldn’t think that her older brother’s identity wasn’t worthy of Xu Lele, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
“Alright. When you want to make an appointment, let me know in advance,” Chen Meng’er agreed readily.
“Alright, I’ll go and tell Qiu Jing now. She is still waiting for my call.”
